Police want the public's help to track down a 20-year-old Ottawa man wanted in connection with two January robberies, including a car-jacking.

An arrest warrant was issued for Jeffrey Gerrior, who has been charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of fail to comply with probation order and theft over $5,000.

On Jan. 5, police say a woman was walking to her car in a Mer Bleu Rd. plaza parking lot shortly before 3 p.m., when a man approached her at her car and demanded her keys. The woman refused, and the suspect tried to take the keys and her purse.

She was pushed to the ground and suffered a minor injury. The man ran away empty-handed after she yelled for help.

Shortly after, police say a man and woman parked their vehicle at an Innes Rd. business, where the man went inside. The same suspect got inside the car and ordered the woman to get out.

Officers later recovered the vehicle several days later in the Byward Market area.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Ottawa Police 613-236-1222, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.
